Happy New Year!
If I were to narrow down this year’s focus to a single word it would have to be “revival.” When one considers Japanese economic
revival, concerns over the stability of the banking system and the disposal of non-performing loans represent only one side of the coin. The other side is characterized by industries and corporations burdened with excessive debts and problems
concerning the disposal of non-performing assets. Lengthy delays in dealing with these problems have forced banks to take large risks. This stems partly from the fact that the traditional Japanese financial system, for which the government has
essentially provided guarantees, be they implicit or explicit, is no longer able to shoulder the burden. It is now clear to everyone that the financial system must be swiftly restructured so that a balance is achieved between direct and indirect
financing.
The world economy is becoming increasingly global, moving in a seamless fashion at lower cost owing to deregulation and the
rapid dissemination of IT. Japan’s industry, corporations and financial system must make dramatic efforts aimed at revival. In view of Japan’s current position, cash and capital, the lifeblood of revival, can be financed through either
taxpayers’ money or by shifting post office savings and bank deposits to the capital markets. However, it is doubtful taxes could finance everything, but it is clear the greater the role played by a free market the smaller the distortion to
industrial structures and the lesser the burden on taxpayers.
As such, our involvement this year in the capital and stock markets will
be greater than ever before. Our basic and dynamic approach will hold the key to this year’s success. If we do not act to bring about this revival, the world will likely pity Japan believing it is about to experience another lost decade.
As in previous years, in 2003 global economic interdependence will continue to advance. This year Japan, regarded as the weakest of the
world’s three most advanced economies, will undertake to extricate itself from the dangers imposed by long-term stagnation and a deflation spiral. I would like for the Nomura Group to work with united purpose towards contributing to this end.
